Her hope is to inspire others to take a moment to reflect on how we are all sewn together through this beautiful world full of infinite life forms
Healing Through Art


Kristen's professional art journey began after sexual assault in 2018. After struggling for months and barely making it through the day, she turned to art and never looked back. She pours her soul into every piece in hopes of inspiring and comforting other survivors. Life altering events often leave us feeling more alone than ever. She struggles with PTSD and trying to connect with people and the world around her again. Art helps her through the toughest moments, and she hopes it can bring that same power to the viewer. Art is a way to connect, bond, and grow with others.



Artist's Statement
​
Art is powerful, Art is beautiful. Art is human.
I have always been drawn to art, artists, and the inspiration behind the work. I am now lucky enough to call myself an artist and share my work with the world. I have a burning passion for art and creating pieces that are immersive and invoke strong feelings. I aim to bring an energy to my work that I can pass on for you to experience. Our human connection with nature and animals is something that has always consumed and inspired me. Because of this, my art goes beyond the canvas and brings nature straight to you. The piece of wood is just as important as the drawing burned into it, and it often inspires the burning itself. My work is centered around human emotion and our deepest desires to connect with the world around us and I hope to inspire others to take a moment and reflect on how we are all sewn together through this beautiful world full of infinite life forms.
